NCAAF Week Three Picks

Good luck with your plays Alex.

I'd be careful with Arkansas....the Razorbacks have to prove they can play defense before I jump on the bandwagon.

Also, QB Ryan Mallett has to prove he can perform on the road. Not very good last year.

BOL! They all look good although I'm not sure about the Maryland pick.

Thanks for the heads up Work Horse, I'll look into it, Good luck to both you guys

Man, you are a contrarian, or independent thinker, if you prefer. I think I might be the only other person considering BYU.

Good luck guys. Good looking weekend slate of games once again.

MW - Same guy from the other side? Yeah I need to look more into that game but I'm really down on the ACC this year top to bottom and thats why I really considered this game

NC State -2 to win 1 unit

This line jumped 3 points the other way in the matter of one night which is surprising. Collaros is apparently not what we thought he was. He did great filling in for Pike last year, but so far this year he hasn't been that great. It's really been the running game thats been getting it done for Cinci. I guess we might be looking at a kid thats the product of Kelly's system. NC State been having a pretty good year so far and Wilson comes back at QB. Even though NC State gave up 308 yards to Central Florida, I think this defense is a lot better then that. Home field advantage, better defense and a possibly better QB gets it done for NC State.

I'd say the Maryland pick is the only one I do like.

Something fishy about that Iowa line.

G. Tech +1.5 to win 1 unit

I might be the only one on this one. G. Tech's option offense can be hit or miss like last week. I think a lot of people will be on UNC this week thanks to there heart in the LSU game and they nearly won after being down 20 in the 1H. Also you've got some people coming off suspension. But I the real UNC is what we saw in that first half and G. Tech might blow the doors off. The line is only what it is because G. Tech lost to Kansas but this team is better what they showed in that game.

Washington +3.5 to win 2 units

Despite my insistence that Jake Locker is completely overrated I'm going to take him for a big play this weekend. Feel pretty good about this upset because I see Nebraska as not being that great either. This is gonna be a close game I think thanks to Nebraska's defense. I think this has a field goal win all over it. Washington stays in this game because Nebraska's offense isn't that great and they've played some buttercups so they look a lot better then they actually do. Washington's home field advantage will help them in this case as well

Arizona -1 to win 1 unit

Did a 180 on this one, the basic reasoning is that the way Iowa plays and there slow offense gives me a lot of worry. I guess im going away from the whole "defense wins game". But I think Iowa's lack of offense, will be there undoing this season. People forget even though they were solid last year, they almost lost to probably 3 teams that they should have never even had a close game with. I think home field advantage will also greatly help Arizona out.
